“Michele is fantastic! She was so attentive and caring with Luna and Frankie and kept me updated the entire time I was out of town. I've been using Rover for 5 years and Michele is one of the best sitters I've ever had. She will be my first choice from here on out.”


“Allana did great with my puppy! She was super flexible with what we needed and made sure to be attentive with my puppy both inside the house and when she took him on walks. He was comfortable enough to eat, sleep, and play with her! We came back to a puppy who was out for the rest of the night! It can be really hard to leave your puppy with someone, especially in your own home, (my puppy is only 4 months) but allana did a great job and I’d hire her again.”


“Christie was absolutely amazing. We had to take a sudden trip and I messaged Christie. She was quick to respond and agreed to meet with us the day we left very early in the morning. We have three elderly pets that needed special attention and Christie was able to accommodate them. We will definitely use Christie again in the future.”


“Chanel was amazing! I was very worried leaving our dog with someone again since our last experience wasn’t good with a different sitter, but she put my mind as ease and was very communicative and sent pics of our fury baby. I could tell from the pics our dog felt comfortable with her. And she left the house just as clean as when we left. Highly recommend Chanel!”


“Kevin did an amazing job with my girl, Harper. She is my absolute everything and I do not trust her with just anyone. She usually attends daycare 5 days a week, but they were closed around the Holiday. Kevin stayed at my home for 3 1/2 hours with Harper while I worked all day and I never second guessed his trust-worthiness. Kevin was timely and had outstanding communication (sent updates, pictures, etc). My girl absolutely loved hanging out with him. The past reviews were spot on when regarding him being a dog whisperer! Harper is super active and loves all the attention which he provided through out his stay with her. I will 100% be reaching out to Kevin to take care of Harper when needed. 5/5 stars!! ?”


“Morgan was perfect with our two Golden Retrievers! Great communication and sent daily photos. We felt at ease each day and are very thankful. We will absolutely use Morgan again and highly recommend her!”


About: Hi there! My name is Taylor, and I recently graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology. I’ve been pet sitting for over 8 years, starting back in high school, and I absolutely love spending time with animals of all kinds! I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and training levels—including dogs, cats, and more. I am currently a summer intern at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center, where I care for sea turtles on a daily basis. While I’m unable to provide in-home boarding, I offer drop-in visits and overnight stays in your home to keep your pets comfortable in their own environment. I'm based in Surf City but happy to travel to nearby areas. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry (or scaly!) loved ones. Looking forward to connecting with you soon! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m available for in-home stays or drop-in visits and can provide walks and care before work (around 7 AM), during lunch (around noon), and after work (around 4 PM). I also have availability throughout the evening and overnight, making it easy for me to accommodate a variety of schedules and pet needs! As a summer intern currently staying in provided housing, I'm not able to offer in-home boarding. However, I'm very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and have extensive experience with both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention, playtime, and care to keep them happy and comfortable while you're away! It is very important to me that you are confident your pet is taken care of with no worries, so I like to send frequent updates and photos as well. It's also very important to me that my clients come home to a clean, tidy house—just the way they left it.

About: I’ve had pets all my life and cared for my own dog for 12 years now. All it takes to help cate for a pet is know their routine and take great care of them. That’s not just give them food and water but also provide exercise and love, I can mostly help out pet owners after my Full-Time job in the afternoons. I work early shift like 5am-1pm or 6am-2pm 5 days a week. Especially on my days off I can pick a shift every now and then. Ive dog sat for my pet owner friends and they alway invite me back to take care of them. I make sure to follow the pet routine (feed it on time and making sure they have water when need be, and also providing the pet their medicine if need be) and I make sure the pet is get the outside time it need and deserve rather then being cooped up inside all day.

“Brittney was an amazing sitter! She was communicative, kind and our pups loved her! We ran into a flight delay and she was happy to extend her stay for several hours. We highly recommend Brittney and will be hiring her again!”


“Everything was great when we got back from vacation. She was available on short notice, because the girl who was set up to come, didn’t show up! Alexandra was a lifesaver. 😊”


“My dog seemed to love Liz! She stopped by after sitting and Sadie was so excited! She kept me well-informed and sent pictures. My house was perfect when I returned. I highly recommend her, but don't use her when I want her!”

“Shannon was FANTASTIC! While my fiancé and I were on a quick vacation I could not have felt more comfortable leaving my dogs with anyone else! From the moment I met her I knew she would be perfect. Sending me picture updates (we all know how important those are lol) and treating my dogs as if they were hers! Will definitely use her again in the future. ?”

“It may be unfair, but If I want to know if the person I am speaking to is a good person, I watch for my dogs’ reactions. Andrea was immediately accepted into the fold with no growling or suspicion. My dogs just walked right up to her and gave her love. Her personality is sunny and friendly, and I was comfortable with her with my dogs and in my home, also immediately. I got several updates in the short time she was here, and the dogs were calm when I got home having been walked, wiped and fed. Happy to have her on our team, and if she hadn’t asked for a review, I wouldn’t leave one (I’d rather keep her amazing skills at dog care to myself). Seriously though, Andrea is a wonderful choice if you need help with your babies. ☺️.”
